Objectives:
- Tailor existing models (gut) for studying fungal pathogenesis and LBP activity
- Develop a vagina model for studying fungal pathogenesis and LBP activity
- Tailor gut and vagina models for studying interaction of fungal pathogens with microbiota components (including LBPs)
Expected Results:
- Biomimetic tissue models and assays to study fungal infection
- Biomimetic tissue models and assays to study LBPs
- Novel insights into fungal-host-microbiota interactions
